A mechanical theatre game, fusing an interactive script with a live and responsive sound design.

Imagine you're in a theatre of the future, powered by an algorithm. Remote is an interactive live game interrogating the politics of choice, and decision-making in an immaterial world, saturated with technology.

This is a piece of game-theatre that you play sitting down, and it's entirely led by you, the audience. As well as just being yourselves - you are also, together, playing a character, and you'll be asked to make choices for her.

Fusing an interactive script with a live and responsive sound design - Remote is a mechanical theatre game. It's 2017, and we're a room full of mostly strangers, imagining the future.

Coney is a National Portfolio Organisation of Arts Council England and a registered charity.

Remote is commissioned by Theatre in the Mill and funded by 89 warm and generous Kickstarter backers. The show has been further supported by Camden People's Theatre, and developed through scratch and residency at Camden People's Theatre, Battersea Arts Centre, MAKE Ireland, Beta Public, University of Exeter, and Theatre in the Mill.
